The information in this Schedule is presented in accordance with the requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance) and the State Single Audit Guidelines. Because the Schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of Marathon County, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net position or cash flows of Marathon County. The reporting entity for Marathon County is based upon criteria established by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. Marathon County is the primary government according to GASB criteria, while the Children with Disabilities Education Board and North Central Health Center are component units. Federal and state awards received directly by North Central Health Care Center are not included in this report since they have been audited by other auditors for their grants and those amounts are reported in a separate report. The Children with Disabilities Education Board is not required to have a single audit.
